THERMOCHEMISTRY

Terms for you to learn that will make this unit understandable:
Energy (E) the ability to do work or produce heat ; the sum of all potential and kinetic energy in a system is known as the internal energy of the system Potential energy in chemistry this is usually the energy stored in bonds (i.e., when gasoline burns there are differences in the attractive forces between the nuclei and the electrons in the reactants and the products) Kinetic energy energy of motion, usually of particles, proportional to Kelvin temperature; kinetic energy depends on the mass and the velocity of the object: KE = mv2 Law of Conservation of Energy energy never created nor destroyed AKA energy of the universe is constant AKA First Law of Thermodynamics Heat (q) transfer of energy in a process (flows from a warmer object to a cooler one heat transfers because of temperature difference but, remember, temperature is not a measure of energy it just reflects the motion of particles) Enthalpy (H) heat content at constant pressure Enthalpy of reaction ( Hrxn) heat absorbed or released by a chemical reaction Enthalpy of combustion ( Hcomb) -- heat absorbed or released by burning (usually with O2) Enthalpy of formation ( Hf) heat absorbed or released when ONE mole of compound is formed from elements in their standard states Enthalpy of fusion ( Hfus) -- heat absorbed to melt 1 mole of solid to liquid @MP Enthalpy of vaporization ( Hvap) -- heat absorbed to change 1 mole liquid to gas @BP System area of the universe we are focusing on (i.e., the experiment) Surroundings everything outside of the system Endothermic net absorption of energy (heat) by the system; energy is a reactant; (i.e., baking soda and vinegar when mixed get very cold to the touch) Exothermic net release of energy (heat) by the system; energy is a product; (i.e., burning methane gas in the lab burner produces heat; light sticks give off light which is also energy) State Function A property independent of past or future behavior ; (it does not matter which road brought you to school todayyou started at your house and ended here there are probably lots of ways for that to happen) Entropy (S) measure of disorder in the system (measure of chaos) Gibbs Free Energy (G) criteria for sponteneity and amount of free energy to do work Thermodynamics study of energy and its interconversions Work force acting over distance

ENERGY AND WORK See definition of energy.

E = q(heat) + w(work)
Signs of q +q if heat absorbed q if heat released Signs of w (commonly related to work done by or to gases) + w if work done on the system (i.e., compression) -w if work done by the system (i.e., expansion) When related to gases, work is a function of pressure (pressure is force per unit of area) and volume

w = -P V
NOTE: Energy is a state function. (Work and heat are not.) Exercise 1 Internal Energy Calculate E for a system undergoing an endothermic process in which 15.6 kJ of heat flows and where 1.4 kJ of work is done on the system.

= 17.0 kJ Exercise 2 PV Work Calculate the work associated with the expansion of a gas from 46 L to 64 L at a constant external pressure of 15 atm.

Exercise 3 Internal Energy, Heat, and Work A balloon is being inflated to its full extent by heating the air inside it. In the final stages of this process, the volume of the balloon changes from 4.00 106 L to 4.50 106 L by the addition of 1.3 108 J of energy as heat. Assuming that the balloon expands against a constant pressure of 1.0 atm, calculate E for the process. (To convert between L atm and J, use 1 L atm = 101.3 J.)

= 8 107 J ENTHALPY Measure only the change in enthalpy, H ( the difference between the potential energies of the products and the reactants) H is a state function H = q at constant pressure (i.e.

atmospheric pressure) (true most of the time for us and a very handy fact!) Enthalpy can be calculated from several sources including:

Stoichiometry Calorimetry From tables of standard values Hesss Law Bond energies

Stoichiometrically: Exercise 4: Upon adding solid potassium hydroxide pellets to water the following reaction takes place: KOH (s) KOH(aq) + 43 kJ Answer the following questions regarding the addition of 14.0 g of KOH to water: a) Does the beaker get warmer or colder? b) Is the reaction endothermic or exothermic? c) What is the enthalpy change for the dissolution of the 14.0 grams of KOH? C al or i m et ry :

(b) exothermic (c) -10.7when kJ a body The process of measuringAnswers: heat based(a) onwarmer observing the temperature change absorbs or discharges energy as heat. Types of calorimetry: (1) Coffee-cup calorimetry in the lab this is how we experiment to find energy of a particular system. We use a Styrofoam cup, reactants that begin at the same temperature and look for change in temperature. After all data is collected (mass or volume; initial and final temperatures) we can use the specific formula to find the energy released or absorbed. We refer to this process as constant pressure calorimetry. ** q = H @ these conditions.** q = mCT (2) Bomb calorimetry weighed reactants are placed inside a steel container and ignited. Often referred to as constant volume. This is used by industry to determine number of food calories that we consume! The heat given off is absorbed by the calorimeter so: qrxn = -qcal To calculate qcal:

qcal = CcalT
(Ccal is found by calibrating the calorimeter w/ known substance) Terms to know: Heat capacity energy required to raise temp. by 1 degree (Joules/C) Specific heat capacity (Cp) same as above but specific to 1 gram of substance

Molar heat capacity -- same as above but specific to one mole of substance (J/mol K or J/mol C ) Energy (q) released or gained -- q = mCpT q = quantity of heat (Joules or calories) m = mass in grams T = Tf - Ti (final initial) Cp = specific heat capacity ( J/gC) Specific heat of water (liquid state) = 4.184 J/gC ( or 1.00 cal/gC) Heat lost by substance = heat gained by water (if this does not happen, calculate the heat capacity of the substance) Units of Energy: calorie--amount of heat needed to raise the temp. of 1.00 gram of water 1.00 C kilocalorie--duh!; the food calorie with a capital C. kg m 2 KE = 1 / 2mv 2 = = 1.0 J s2 Exercise 5 In a coffee cup calorimeter, 100.0 mL of 1.0 M NaOH and 100.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl are mixed. Both solutions were originally at 24.6C. After the reaction, the final temperature is 31.3C. Assuming that all solutions have a density of 1.0 g/cm3 and a specific heat capacity of 4.184 J/gC, calculate the enthalpy change for the neutralization of HCl by NaOH. Assume that no heat is lost to the surroundings or the calorimeter.

Answer: -5.6 kJ/mol joule--SI unit of energy; 1 cal = 4.184 J

Assuming that the calorimeter absorbs only a negligible quantity of heat, that the specific heat capacity of the solution is 4.18 J/C g, and that the density of the final solution is 1.0 g/mL, calculate the enthalpy change per mole of BaSO4 formed.

= -26 kJ/mol Exercise 8 Constant-Volume Calorimetry It has been suggested that hydrogen gas obtained by the decomposition of water might be a substitute for natural gas (principally methane). To compare the energies of combustion of these fuels, the following experiment was carried out using a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 11.3 kJ/C. When a 1.50-g sample of methane gas was burned with excess oxygen in the calorimeter, the temperature increased by 7.3C. When a 1.15-g sample of hydrogen gas was burned with excess oxygen, the temperature increase was 14.3C. Calculate the energy of combustion (per gram) for hydrogen and methane.

Exercise 11

Sometimes all values are not found in the table of thermodynamic data. For most substances it is impossible to go into a lab and directly synthesize a compound from its free elements. The heat of formation for the substance must be found by working backwards from its heat of combustion. Find the Hf of C6H12O6(s) from the following information: C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) + 2800 kJ Substance Hf (kJ/mol) CO2(g) -393.5 H2O(l) -285.8

Exercise 10 Using enthalpies of formation, calculate the standard change in enthalpy for the thermite reaction: 2A1(s)+Fe2O3(s) A12O3(s)+2Fe(s) This reaction occurs when a mixture of powdered aluminum and iron (III) oxide is ignited with a magnesium fuse.

= -850. kJ Hesss Law Enthalpy is not dependent on the reaction pathway. If you can find a combination of chemical equations that add up to give you the desired overall equation, you can also sum up the Hs for the individual reactions to get the overall Hrxn. Remember this: First decide how to rearrange equations so reactants and products are on appropriate sides of the arrows. If equations had to be reversed, reverse the sign of H If equations had be multiplied to get a correct coefficient, multiply the H by this coefficient since Hs are in kJ/MOLE (division applies similarly) Check to ensure that everything cancels out to give you the exact equation you want. Hint** It is often helpful to begin your work backwards from the answer that you want! Exercise 11: Given the following equations

Hrxn = -0.02 kJ Hrxn = -11.3 kJ Hrxn = 17.5 kJ

Find the H for this overall reaction: 2 H3BO3(aq) B2O3(s) + 3 H2O(l)

Bond Energies Energy must be added/absorbed to BREAK bonds (endothermic). Energy is released when bonds are FORMED (exothermic). H = sum of the energies required to break old bonds (positive signs) plus the sum of the energies released in the formation of new bonds (negative signs).
